About this product
Product Information
Using fundamental physics, the theory of stellar structure and evolution can predict how stars are born, how their complex internal structure changes, what nuclear fuel they burn, and their ultimate fate. This textbook is a stimulating introduction for undergraduates in astronomy, physics and applied mathematics, taking a course on the physics of stars. It uniquely emphasises the basic physical principles governing stellar structure and evolution. This second edition contains two new chapters on mass loss from stars and interacting binary stars, and new exercises. Clear and methodical, it explains the processes in simple terms, while maintaining mathematical rigour. Starting from general principles, this textbook leads students step-by-step to a global, comprehensive understanding of the subject. Fifty exercises and full solutions allow students to test their understanding. No prior knowledge of astronomy is required, and only a basic background in physics and mathematics is necessary.Product Identifiers

Bargain, really a bargain
The book was described as nearly perfect and, apart from a rubber stamped "DAMAGED" inside seemed to be in perfect condition. I bought the book because it was recommended reading. It is easy to read (for a science textbook) and full of detail. Although I'm not qualified to comment on the content I can certainly have no complaints about saving £15 off the list price. Bargain by any measure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
